DECEASE OF A WELL Known CLERGYMAN.
Throueh a letter rec ived iu this city wc learn the
painful news of the death of Rev. William Croo!-,
widely known through tho State as one of tho old?
est and most laborious Ministers cf tho Methodist
V Episcopal Church, South, in this State. He
peacefully breathed his last on Monday evening.
28th November, at half-past C o'clock, at nis resi?
dence near Fort HUI, York District.
A SENSATION PARADE.-Yesterday afternoon three
attaches of thc Bia k Crook company created no
little excitement on the streets by attiring them?
selves ia burlesquo costumes, f.ud traversing thc
popular routes at a Gilpin speed, on black charg?
ers. The young "nigs" were especially edified,
and followed in an unmitigated swarm, cheering
at the top of *heir voices. One of tho mounted
advertisers was arrayed in green tights, with tas?
sels, &c, dopending from his skull cap covering a
masked face; the other two were coit jmed in red
flannel, and rodo in tho rear of their ostensible
leader. They finally wound np their doing3 by re?
tiring to the yard of the Hibernian Hall, at tho
gate of which a host of juveniles gathered, and
only left when satisfied that tho sensationista
would appear no more.
AN OASIS.-lt is refreshing these times, as it is
rare, to meet any one not as "blue" as all tho rest
of ns. People from the country used to bo looked
upon as "green,"-but the huo now most preva?
lent among the gentlemen from tho rural parts ia
unquestionably of tho cerulean order. "C jtton tait"
- "factors' advances"-"hard times"-"st*y laws"
-and other such cheerinl topics strike thc ear al
every turn. This is the case not h^ro or there,
in a few unfortunate localities, but everywhere
throughout the South-perh ips we ought to say al?
most everywhere; for a friend, just irom Abbeville,
informs us that during a recent tcur through that
District, ho was gratified to ?od the planter.; not
disposed to grumble more than usually at this sea?
son of the year, to admit even that they have mad :
fair average crops of corn and of cotton; and that
while tuey have made no money, they have at
least the wherewithal to live couifo.tably daring
the next twelve months. Our friend is a reliable
T man, and we are therefore bound to accept even
bis statement in relation to the fact of actually
having seen with his own evos gundry "shoats"'
running at largo in that District. Sausages and
spare-ribs, therefore, are not countod among thc
unattainable luxuries ot our Abbeville Mends.
EVERY DOO HAS HIS DAY.-The dog lax has
always been a bone of eonteation in tba State
Legislature, each Representativo urging -hat cer?
tain dogs should be exempt from the tat, bul ii
has generally been decided that dogs must not
live a useless life, and their owners were compelled
to contribute their quota to the support of tho
Government. This enactment bas had but little
effect on the canine species ; they have flourished
and multiplied, a'..ci each census has sbown an
increase in their numbers. Legislation has failed
to control their growth, and it was wisely resoircd
to let each dog have his day, and do bis utmost to
aid the country by increasing the revenue. In
this connection, it is gratifying to stato that, in
the new tax bill lately prepared by GenoraJ
Canby, this clause has been retained, without tay
debate, and the dogs will hereafter be consid.-rcd
an influential class in the community, though as
yet they have not advanced sufficiently in the
social scale to be accorded tho rights of sufiiv.ge.
The black and tans are, however, by far the most
popular, and it is fair to presume that, with thc
increased advantages now afforded, they will
eventually become far advanced in civilization, and
will resent the poll-tax as an indignity. Omn?3
emit diem suam hibet.
?IKETTNO OF GERMANS THIS EVENING.-Our Ger?
man fellow-citizens we learn from ti io "Charles toner
Zeitung" of this morning, will meet at thc engine
house in Chalmers-street at 7 j o'clock this ovtning
to consider the propriety of sending back by thj
Bremen bark "Gause," ten or moro tierces of rice?
for the relief of the destitute in Sweden. This, it
is proposed, should be dono by tho Germans of
> Charleston, ES a thank-offering, for the preserva?
tion of their frier.?s during a long sea-voynge, and
their safe arrival at this port. As they, moreover,
came in on Thanksgiving Day, there is a peculiar
propriety in our German fellow-citizers making
this acknowledgment to tho goodness of Provi?
dence.
It is proposed, also, we understand, to prosent
to Captain Wieting a new suit of colors for the ,
"Gauss," in appreciation of his urbanity, his skil- ,
ful seamanship, his many q ulities of head and ,
neart, which make him the right man in tho right
place. Such a mark of esteem is specially his due ,
from the Germans in Charleston, as it is under- ?
stood he h\s come to this pori at a positivo los?. ,
rather than carry a double freight to New York, or
other Northern port3-all because of his friendshp
for our city and her people.

GERMAN IMMIGRANTS.-Below we publish aa in- '
teresting letter to the Ccmmicsioner of Immigra?
tion for this State, General John A. Wagener, hom
Mr. F. Melchers, who has, for some months, been
presenting in Germany the interests of South Car?
olina as a homo for the emigrant. Y>V foar Mr. M.
will be disappointed in regard to any appropria?
tion from the Legislature, either tor this or any
other object ; reason-there being no Legislature
of South Carolina. We hope, however, that our
merchants will take into consideration thc sugges?
tion throwu cut by Mr. Melchers, and do what lies
in their pon r.' to prevent the failure of an etitc r
prise that promises to contribute so much to th?
material no less than to the political prosperity of
the State.
OLDENBURG, November 15,1567.
Genera' John A. Wakener, Commissioner :
DEAR SIR,-By to-d-iy's mail I send you a variety
of papers, among them you will notice a paper
irom friend Herman Meier, which he is now pub
liBhing. I have written to him, and expect s.Oun
to see some articles about South Carolina in Li?
paper. A new Emigrant paper bas been started
in Bremen; I sent au advertisement, and the edi?
tor wrote a email notice at the rate of 6 gr. per
Une. It ia hardly worth it, as tho paper stems to
be entirely in the"interest of California. Oorlriend
Behre's paper has also been started in Hanover,
gad he has kept his word and wrote an excellent
article about South Carolina. 1 will send you a
popy 9? it by next mau, I bad again a few ap
plications from people who desire lo KO next S|
to Charleston, among others a voung DOM
bud .cr from Hanover, and a family from Eli
den, who desire to bay land-cash capital i
$1000. Tho five thousand pamphlets I luid pri
herc have bcon nearly ad distributed throng
Gormany; ono thousand of them havobsen
to liv - hundred different bookstores. Inow
translated tho supplement, and ?rill dis tri
til 'in us soon as they are printed. Tlic conlan
tcr.i.l for printing1, advertising, cte., of $.~>0(
drawing rapidly to a close, aud still it woult
vt ry desirable to advertise uiore, especially ix
small country papers. There are more than
hundred >>f them, and if we could give each
dollars1 wort lt of advertising, it would bc reta
to thc State a thousandfold. But I suppose n
bag more ca:? be done this year until thc Leg
lure nukes another appropriation, unless our
ral Charleston merchants c ntribute somet?
towards it. l he weather at present is milli, Spr
like, but wo have badu great dcul ol rain,
some very cold days, although no frost as
j To-day, especially, ts % beautiful day. I haye

I'HABLESTOH BOAED OF TBADE.- At the reguli
monthly meeting last night, Mr. Hastie, Chairma
of thc Executive Committee, pieseuted tho fo
lowing reports, all of which were adopted:
L That the President of tho Board of Trade I
requested io call tho attention of the Light Hons
Board, through the Collector of tho Port, to tl'
deficiency of lights in Charleston Harbor.
2. That, whereas, ibo parties residing in thi
zr.? ihe neighboring Southern States are indebtc
to members of this Board in tho large oem <
$7,500 OOO, principal and interest, by actual con
putation for debts duo before thp war, and belio\
ins that our present stringent law in hobing res
dents of tho neighboring States to bail has di
terred many persons who would have visited u
with a view to compromise, from making any al
empt to advise personally with their crediton
therefore,
R'so'xco', That a Committeo be named by th
the President to draft a petition to GenoralCanb
to auspend all bail writs for debts contracted prc
vious to tho 9th of April, 1865.
The fellowing is tho Committee: W. 8. Hastie
fl. Cobia, E. Baies, D. F. Fleming, W. G. Whil
den and E. W. Marshall.
3. That iu considetation of the present depress
ed condition of tho cotton interests of the South
tho President of tho Board of Trade be requcstci
to appoint a committee to draft a memorial ti
Congress, asking a bounty of one cent per pouni
on all raw cotton exported from the United Statei
after- dato, until the whole amount of ta:
heret.'lorc leviod upon cotte a shall have been rc
turned; provided, that no bounty shall bo givor
after thc crop shad have roached thrco and a hal
million of bales.
4. Thc comparative small amounts of capita
which have reached us have beon loaded with suet
heavy rates of interest as to destroy all hope o.
a-am making tho South a great agricultural coun
try.
Tho culture cf cotton is a matter which interests
tho pooplo of tho ifholo United States; it is a pow?
erful agent in adjusting tho balance ot trade with
Europe and the world r.t large.
The first great point of deficiency is capital ai
a : air rate of interest. This point attained, laboi
will bo easily commanded. Your Committee
wuu'd recommend that our peculiar condition be
brought to tho rttention of Congress by a Com
mitte from this Board, and that said Committee
bo authorize J to ask Congress for a loan of a por?
tion of the money collected as a tax on cotton ia
the shape of national banks, to established at
3uch points and under such direction as the wisdom
of Congress may direct.
The following gentlemen were appointed as a
Committee under tho third and fourth reports: W.
S. Hastie, E. Willis, G. W. Clarke, L. D. Mowry
and W, C. Courtenay.
Mr. H. H. DeLeon offored tho following pream?
ble and resolutions, prefaced by a few appropriate
remarks. Thc resolutions were seconded by Mr.
Froneherger. and unanimously adopted:
For the firrt time since our organization we have
been derived of a useful and respected member
by t e hand of death, and while we bow in sub
oiission to thc will of the Almightv in removing
from our midst our late member, James P. Earle,
it becomes our duty to express our great regret at
bis loss. Mr. Earle was a good citizen and up?
right man, and by his honesty and puritv of char?
acter, won the respect and esteem of bis fellow
men. Ile has occupied several positions of honor,
.nd at his death was an Alderman ot tbe city. He
tvas always ready and anxious to lend lus "aid to
iiU measures tending not only to advance the in?
terests of the commercial, but of the entire com?
munity. Bo it, therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of the late James P.
Earle, the Board of Tracie has lost a good and use?
ful member, and thc City ol' Charlostou an upright
iud honest citizen.
llesob id, That thc above preamble and resolu?
tion be entered upon our minute ,, and that a copy
oe sent to his family.
licso'xid, That this preamble sud resolution bo
published iu thc daily papers.
Thero being no otha business, thc Board ad
lourned.
Immediately afterward, hov.ever, tho Board re
tsscmbled, to receive a report in relation to the
ax hill.
Mr. Bates, from a committee of merchants, up
oointed on tho COth of October, to confer with
3 D ral Cauby, presented a report.
Wo have space only this morning tor the ioiiow
irj , ;tract irom General Cauby's reply to the
[siter of the committee:
Elie fir I clause, Gcne/al Order No. it>2, ap
nil meres itile transactions, whether upon
commi sion or otherwise, when the property in?
volved was actually parted with before tho passage
ol tbe ad imposing tho tax."
[Ibis, therefore, annuls the retrospective tax ou
i ali p: sse I by tbs Legislature of 1866. |

4J8-33'J natives and 99 foreigners ; of those re?
lieved outs.de the total was 1857-1423 natives and
424 foreigners. Tue report was received as infor?
mation.
The Leard of Commiosiondrs of ?he Orphan
House transmitted thtir annual report: The
School Committee elaborated aa to thc arrange?
ment of that branch, and stated that thc efficiency
of that department would lu much weakened by
thc action of Council. Long observation had con?
vinced them of tho necessity of paying every at
tention tj the education of their charges, and a
reduction of tho appropriation would effect no
good. At a mooting of the Board thc following
resolutions were passed, and ordered to bc pre?
sented to Council :
Jiesoioed, That it is the opinion of the Board
that tho school of thi* Institution is now conduct?
ed upon a system of the closest economy, and that
any reduction in the appropriation must be detri?
mental to the most important part ot the charity
dispensed in tho House.
R to eel, That t'.io Chairman of the Board bc
requested to communicate to tho City Council thc
annual report of the School Committeo for ISM
and "(?7. and with them the above resolution and
our earnest request that thc sum heretofore al?
lowed us for the purposes 0f the s hool be not di?
minished.
Bills from the Alms House, amounting to $2924
18; from the Orphan House, $3011 93; the Gae
Company, $2321 13 ; were referred to the Commit?
tee on Accounts.
The Committee on Brick and Wooden Buildings
presented a tavorable report on tho potition of X.
C. Luden to repair his building at the corner of
Montague and Coming streets. Adopted.
The Committee on Licenses returned an unfa?
vorable repoit on tho petition of L. Bunch & Son
to renew their auctioneers' licenses, thoy having
failed to comply with the terms, and stating that
it was necessary to execute a new bond. Adopted.
Sundry applications for licenses were reported
on favorably, and report adopted.
Tho Committee on Accounts reported favorably
on the bill of Bussell & Jones for stationery fur?
nished the High School.
The resolutions offered by Alderman Wragg, at
thc last meeting, in relation to standing commit?
tees and the Committee on Accounts, werp read
and adopted.
Aldetman Marshall offered the following resolu?
tion, which was adopted :
Resolved, That the City Treasurer report to
Council, at tho next regular moating, tho entire
indebtedness of the city, which is to inelude all
subscriptions to railroads and other enterprises
entered inio by the city ; also, to furnish Council
with the assets of the city in tho way of stocks,
bonds, &c.
Adopted.
The Mayor stated that the City Treasurer had
been called on to furnish a list of defaulters (tax
payers) and tho amounts due. Tho Treasurer
had found it impossible to pr?paie this list, but
there were about six hundred names of delin?
quents, and $91,000 due tho city.
On motion of Alderman Courtenay, the election
for keeper of the Artesian Well was fixed for the
next regular meeting; and, on motion of Alder?
man Easton, the election to fill the vacancy in the
Board of tho Commissioners of the Poor was
fixed for the same time.
Alderman Butler presented the bill to regulate
the salarie.? of public officers, and for other pur?
poses, for engrossment, and it was engrossed in
due form.
On motion, Council then adjourned.
ACCIDENT TO DAN. CASTELLO'S MENAGEKIE.
From tho "Mobile News" we learn that on the 25th
ult., a portion of tho train of the Mobilo and Great
Northern Bail way was thrown off the track:
Thc cars had on board Castello's and Van Am
burg's Menagerie. The accident was caused by
the springing of a rail, and ?ix cars weru precipi?
tated down a forty foot embankment-three plat?
form and two stock cars. The cages of thc ani?
mals were upon the platform cars, and were thrown
off, smashing them up. A lion, three bears, two
tigers, hyeua and hippopotamus were thereby
turned loose, and produced much excitement.
One of the bears getting hold of a beautiful Amer?
ican deer made short work of her. After great
difficulty all of tho animals were secured with tho
exception of tho hyena, who showed fight; she
was finally knocked" senseless by a blow from a
heavy pioco of wood and thrown into a cage. Mr.
Lewis Burrows, attached to the circus department,
waa killed, an . four others severely woundod. One
horse was ki .jd and several liad their eyes
knocked out.

Usutas MEETING.-We have been requested to
state that this evening tho Germans of cur city
will hold a meeting at the German Engine House,
on matters of importance. Particulars in tho
Charlestoner Zeitung.
CLOTHING AT REDUCED PBICES.-Messrs. Edwin
Bates A Co. advertise their large stock of clothing
at very reduced rates. This stock has been select?
ed with great care, and comprises every quality of
clothing, from tin? suits to those designed for la?
borers. It is seldom that similar opportunities
are presented, .md those persons who wish to se?
cure a serviceable suit for a small outlay should
have nu eye to their own interest, and invest im?
mediately at Messrs. E. Bates A Co.
HAnpWAUE. -There are perhaps few business
houses that havo a more extended reputation than
the hardware establishment of Messrs. Hart A Co.,
at the coiner of Eing and .Market streets. Tho
business has leen conducted at thu stand for
many years, and Hart's hardware store is known
throughout thc State. Since tho war the business
was resumed at the same old stand, and a new and
full stock ol'every article was cbta.ned. Messrs.
Hart A Co., are now prepared to furnish their
friends with a full selection ol hardware that will
meet with their approval.
FROM TUE WEST LSDIL9-Secretary Seward's
proposition to annex several of the smaller West
India Islands hae found favor with man / persons,
and Mr. John B. Togni, an enterprising fruit im?
porter of tuis City, has recently obtained a large
supply of the productions of these islands, which
he bas on exhibition at his stand, No. 125 Meeting
street. Mr. Togni bas a full stoek o; fruits, se
gars. Ac., which he soils at the lowest rates to his
numerous city and country cu?'.omers. He deals
also in jellies, preserved fruits and other luxuries
indispensable to the enjoyment of the Christmas
holidays._
TUE GOLDEN GUN.--Slr. Samuel R. Marshall an?
nounces to his friends that he has largely increased
h\3 stock ot hardware, and can fill all demands,
from a paper of tacks to au anvil. The sign of the
golden gun ie weil known to the citizens of Charles?
ton: and they have found from experience that Mr,
Marshall's establishment ?a stocked with every ar?
ticle in thc hardware lino. As most porsons re?
construct their households during tho Christmas
holidays, thero arc low places where the ma?
terial ie more abundant, i'uan under tho aign of tho
golden gun.
CHEAP FcnsiTtjEE.-With tho approach of the
Christmas holidays goods of every description aro
being sold at lower rates and inducements offered
to the public to invest. Thia is especially mtice
ablo in certain branches of business, but particu?
larly in the furniture trade. A great reduction
has been made in the prices, and valuable sets
can be procured for a moderate outlay. Mr. R.
White has recently lowered the tariff on his stock
at the large furniture wardrooms on the earner of
Meeting and Wentworth streets, and now offers
to his customers bargains in furniture that aro
seldom equalled. Mr. White is determined to
make the holidays a merry season, and has gene?
rously placed his prices within the compass of the
most slender purses. A visit <vill convince all
doubterp.

tions which the great American pubiie has a right to
ask, aud it also lias a right to expect a candid and satis?

Jahne cathartic, alterative and tonie, and is most rare
fidly prepared in the form of a snow white powder, con?
taining all the wonderful medical properties of the far
famed Seltzer Springs of Germany.
Of its effects WP would say that those who have lested

Faith Well Founded.
In old time;., at the commencement of every season, it
was the fashion to take a strong cathartic as a safeguard
against a change of temperature. It was a w r=e than
senseless practice. The people of our day understind
the matter better. Instead of depleting tho system they
reinforce it. In tho method they adopt they exhibit a
wise discrimination. Instead of resorting to tao vitiated
stimulants of commerce, or any of tho compounds deriv?
ed from them, they put their faith in the only absolutely
pure invlgoraut procurable in tho market-HOSTET
TER'S STOMACH BI i TERS. '.(heir faith is well found?
ed. Never bas any tonic medicino been prepared with
such scrupulous precision and conscientious cire. It is
a vegetable compound of which overy ingredient is
sound, wholesome, and medicinal in the true sente of
the word. Now, we have three prominent national com
plsints. One half of the adult population of ihe United
States suffer more or less, either from diseases of the
stomach, derangements of tho liver, or affections of the
kidneys. In no other land under Heaven aro these mala?
dies so general as in this country, and HOS ?ETTER'S
RITTERS is a spociflc for them all, unless organic in
their origin, and, therefore, beyond cure. And let those
who are fortunate enough to be exempt from them at
present understand one great fact, viz: that an occa-uon
al use of this vitalizing tonic will as certainly prevent
them as the sun will prevent the earth i cn? ff-ezing
whore its genial beams descend.
